Äni’s graphic novel My Rosy Road centers around a tragic event that almost ended her life and in so doing changed it completely.

The graphic novel and the art exhibition conveys the emotions and experiences of what it’s like to go through a serious neurological disorder - to lose all the capabilities you take for granted - and then slowly win them back.

My Rosy Road is a story that isn’t actually very rosy at all. It was a unique experience which ultimately
became a turning point in Äni’s life, which the illustrated memoir conveys in a number of ways.

Äni is a Finnish artist and graphic designer whose earlier works consist of paintings in the TYKS hematology ward, coloring books, live illustrations, and artistic collaborations with companies and art enthusiasts.
